He could have put anything in it.
Yeah, I'd be willing to bet that their first criteria for the cargo was size, though. They wanted to show off (and test) their heavy launch vehicle, after all. That does narrow things down quite a bit. That doesn't mean there couldn't have been SOME other suitable item, of course. I don't know what that would be. Maybe a giant David Bowie statue.
Why not a celebration of the team that made it happen? Why not a celebration of humanity going into space once again? Why did it have to be a personal memento?
*shrug* I dunno, maybe the car just seemed like such an obvious choice once it came up that the discussion didn't go any further. This seems like a very feasible scenario, given that the group of people choosing it most likely don't share your feelings about Tesla.
